Academic Writing Resources
Facilitated Writing Time Sessions
These facilitated writing sessions give students the opportunity to come into CAW’s Academic Writing Studio for two hours to work on a current writing assignment or a final year dissertation or project. During these sessions, students will have the opportunity to speak to an Academic Writing Tutor while concentrating on their writing.

Exam Writing Support
Coventry University students may have a ‘seen exam’ during their course of study or be required to pass an IELTS exam before they begin their studies with us. The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is designed to help students study in a country where English is the main language.
